Member Highlights
The Center Clinic:
We know our community well. The people we’re serving are the ones that need it, and rely on us for services such as family planning counseling, STIs, hypertension, primary care, birth control, pregnancy, pap smears, and more.
Our programming is shaped by our team members, who have an idea, run with it, and find a way to make it work. In addition to our primary services, our programs have covered sexual education, adolescents/pre-teen menstruation program, healthy relationships, diabetes, community garden initiatives, social worker-facilitated art workshops for teenagers, clinical trials, bowling, and more.
The savings that we’ve saved with 340B has been pretty huge- with these savings, we can allocate more money to go directly toward patient care. As fellow RHA members, we are advocates for the continued legislative support of funds that allow us to provide services to underserved populations, including uninsured patients. Our message to legislators: “Please don’t take away the SRHS grant from us, because it’s the only way that we can provide these services”.

Nucleus Clinic:
Nucleus Clinic has been open for 55 years. We show up every day ready to provide judgement-free care, making sure that people feel seen, heard, and understood. Sexual and reproductive health care can be very stigmatizing, but it makes us proud to see our patients leave here informed, taken care of, and much more at ease. Nucleus Clinic patients don’t ever get turned away for the inability to pay.
With SRHS funding, we cover services like STI testing/treatment, symptoms exams, referrals, pregnancy tests and options counseling, breast and cervical exams, well-person exams, post sexual assault care, and more. SRHS is what keeps the clinic alive- without that money, our clinic and our patients would be at a deficit.
As members of RHA, we are incredibly grateful for the advocacy behind SRHS funding. With Nucleus Clinic being so small, having a group of like-minded people who hold space for each other in navigating challenges in the reproductive healthcare landscape has been a really good support system to have.
